Heartbroken
Posted 04-11-2012 at 03:33 PM by tlpigott
Monday afternoon, my baby Raven was struck by a truck and killed while out walking with my uncle. I'm a real mess. I never imagined a pain like this. My husband and I have not been able to conceive a child, so Raven was my child! The house sits quiet. No little feet scurrying around no wet kisses no one waiting for me at the door. I'm truly heartbroken. My uncle is a mess, blaming himself for the accident. I don't blame him because he loved Raven just as we did. He watched him everyday for almost three tears. He buried him in the backyard before I got there because he didn't want me to see him in the condition he was. I just feel like my heart has been ripped from my chest. People have tried to be understanding but they just don't fully realize the impact this has had on me.

I know what your going through!I am so sorry to hear about Raven, but I can relate to how you are feeling right now. I had a beautiful baby girl 3 lb 3 year old yorkie on Saturday, just a plalyful and happy as she could be, but by saturday night she fell ill, she woke me up at 2:30am bellowing out in pain like I've never heard before, I quickly wrapped her up and rushed her to the ER vet, which was an hour away, by the time I got her there she was seizing because her sugars dropped to 36, the vet did some blood work, put her on a glucose IV drip and we hoped for the best. She survived through the weekend until I could transfer her to our regular vet... the outlook was not good, see Tessa, being as small as she is was prone to infections in her gastrointestional track, and this is exactly what happend. The toxins had built up so quickly it shut her liver down, and there was no recovery from the damage. Tuesday morning I asked my vet to run one more test to check her liver levels to decide wheather I needed to let go of her or not... turns out that nothing had changed since saturday night, so I asked if I could bring her home on an IV drip and have my family with me when she was put to sleep, sadly she only survived for a few hours after I brought her home... I bathed her, dried her, and put her back in the dress she came in, with a cute rose bow in her hair. I wrapped her in her favorite blanket and waited for my husband to get home so we could take her to be creamated. I know your pain... no more little barks, or the sound of her paws scurring down the hallways to meet me anymore... I'm heartbroken without her...She has a sidekick "tito" now that Tessa is gone, all Tito does is mope around the house so it has become a goal of mine to look for a partner again for him, not now as I am still grieving over Tessa, but one day when I'm ready. Yorkies still our hearts and it is hard to let go when you love them so much! I'm grieving with you and I hope that you find peace in another yorkie that steals your heart! Love and Prayers!
